Lie/psychology

Famous quotes containing the words lie and/or psychology:

    A box of teak, a box of sandalwood,
    A brass-ringed spyglass in a case,
    A coin, leaf-thin with many polishings,
    Last kingdom of a gold forgotten face,
    These lie about the room....
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    I was now at a university in New York, a professor of existential psychology with the not inconsiderable thesis that magic, dread, and the perception of death were the roots of motivation.
    Norman Mailer (b. 1923)
